AI Automation for General Contractors
in Grand Rapids

Do the work. Kill the admin.

Multi-trade jobs, verbal change orders, and four customers' email threads you can't keep straight. We build the custom AI system that handles all of it — for general contractors in Grand Rapids and across Michigan.

“Built originally for my dad's family sauna business. Now custom-built for general contractors across Michigan.”

Sound Familiar?

What general contractors
in Grand Rapids tell us.

These are the admin pains that keep general contractors stuck at the kitchen table. Not generic “save time” marketing — the real stuff from real general contractors.

01

Verbal change orders that never become written ones

The customer asked for a granite upgrade and an island change over coffee. You nodded. Two weeks later you realize it's $8,400 of work you never wrote up — and the email confirming what you discussed is buried somewhere in Gmail.

02

The Wilson email about the cabinets — somewhere

Amy Wilson sent the cabinet style and hardware preference last Thursday. You know she did. Now the cabinet shop is asking and you're scrolling through three weeks of email chains trying to find it.

03

Four open jobs, four sets of customers, no system to keep up

Wilson kitchen, Patel basement, Henderson reno, Kim addition. Every customer wants updates. Every sub wants answers. You're answering whoever yelled loudest this morning and forgetting the others.

What if you could just ask?

YOUWhat did Amy Wilson say about the kitchen cabinets?
Amy Wilson emailed Thursday approving the white-oak Shaker style and asking to upgrade hardware to brushed brass instead of chrome ($480 extra). She also wants the island reworked to fit a second sink — that's the change order you haven't drafted yet. Drafted both — want me to send?
YOUWhich jobs have unresolved change orders?
3 open jobs with verbal change orders never put in writing: Wilson kitchen ($8,400 — granite + island + brass hardware), Patel basement ($2,200 — wet bar rough-in), Henderson reno ($1,800 — laundry move). Drafted change order PDFs for all three.

Generic SaaS AI handles one slice — a quote helper here, a chatbot there. RYT's assistant has read every receipt, every email, every job — and remembers your business like a real person would.

The Real Cost

Still using
Buildertrend?

Here's what general contractors keep running into — and what they're missing.

01

Buildertrend and CoConstruct start at $300+/month per company and have a steep learning curve most small GCs never finish.

02

Procore is enterprise-only and doesn't read your inbox.

03

Jobber and Housecall Pro can't draft a change order from the email conversation you had with the customer last Thursday.
